Alcohol is the most important and most common cause of liver disease in the Western world, responsible for 40 to 80% of liver cirrhosis cases. There are thought to be more than 15 million alcoholics in the US, of which more than 2 million have alcoholic liver disease. Cirrhosis of the liver is the ninth leading cause of death in the US, and the sixth leading cause of death in the 45 to 64 age group. Estimated mortality from alcoholic cirrhosis in Western Europe is 5/100,000, and in the USA 10/100,000. The amount of alcohol consumed and the duration of alcohol consumption correlate well with the incidence of alcoholic liver disease. Alcohol cannot be stored in the body, but must be oxidized, mainly in the liver. The clinical picture of alcoholic liver disease covers the spectrum from asymptomatic disease to severe liver cirrhosis with complications. There is often an overlap of several forms of alcoholic liver disease (fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis). A problem in the evaluation of patients with possible alcoholic liver disease is the difficulty of obtaining adequate anamnestic data on alcohol abuse. Liver cirrhosis of alcoholic etiology does not differ clinically from cirrhosis of other etiology. The diagnosis is based on the histological finding of micronodular cirrhosis with data on chronic alcohol abuse (more than 40 units of alcohol per week for ten or more years). It is characteristic of alcoholic liver cirrhosis that, even in very advanced disease, significant improvement can occur with abstinence.The aim of the paper is to show the frequency of alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver through a retrospective analysis in Zadar County in the period from January 1, 2011. until 31.12.2021. years.
